BF2S Forums Baseraping - A Discussion

here is a way for you people that are getting baseraped to get them out of there:

STOP TYPING THAT IT IS CHEAP SHIT AND START SHOOTING BACK!

It is incredibly easy to get the enemies out of your base if you have half a brain. Oh no, thery have a tank! So be a specops or anti-tank and blow the fucker away.



By the way, I baserape. In all my time of playing I have enver complained about when it happens to me, and it has happened a lot. Just learn how to play the game without being a little bitch and fight back.

the server I play on I think has the best rules I have come across -

All bases are open to attack at any time except the US Carrier, not open to attack anytime.

Another server I play has a rule that states that an uncap can not be attacked until all other bases are capped.

er? you cant attack the carrier but you can attack MEC airfield on Oman?
ever get the feeling its just admins on that server who like being US/need US time?

yeah we all just stand there running around waiting for jets, whatever lol. Like lemmings!
I never see a shiney badge getting raped, y'know why? he swapped teams.
Ive played this since the demo, Im not the best no not by a country mile, I havent got a shiney badge yet, just havent put the hours into the game.
That doesn't mean I'm stupid. I see a team of shiney badges and a team of 1st sgts/gunnery sgts I'd join the NCO's anyday. They know how to play as a team, they dont use CHEAP tactics to knock up their K/D:R
If a server says NO BASERAPE when you are connecting, disconnect, simple. people on there want to play as a team and not bother with cheap tactics. It doesnt mean you can connect, make teams uneven go commander, park your arse in a tank in their uncappable and drop a supply crate on yourself/use UAV to spot people spawning.....and then call people n00bs because they complain you are breaking the rules!
If they were meant to be attacked they wouldnt have a f'in big red circle with a line through it saying otherwise and you would be able to cap it.

Tell you what, I can jump on a server, teamstack and attack carrier with J-10, then when the round ends and it swaps me to US Ill just swap teams and make them unbalanced and have me another J-10 to bomb the carrier with.....not forgetting that's inbetween the "n00bs" trying to get off the carrier inbetween arty strikes.
Who's the n00b, the US who can't get off the carrier or me who won't go US because I want to be in a J-10 bombing the carrier? (even though the rules say otherwise when I join)

No. It's because he was smart enough to go cap a flag, or kill whoever ws in his spawn without bitching the whole time.

you cant work as a team when all the REAL 'noobs' are staying dead trying to join the other team.
So in actual fact you are only raping half the amount of players you think you are.
As stated in some of my previous posts like the Sharqi infantry one, there are situations where it's ok and situations where it's just cheap tactics to get some K/D:R even though the server says otherwise.
Dalian for example; PLA get all the flags then take up position on AA and park jeeps at the waters edge, fine...i Agree with that. nothing wrong AT ALL there, that is more likley the US fault for letting it get like that anyway.
However it doesnt make it right to start Arty attacks on the carrier/surrounding it with APC's does it?
OR same map, USA get all the flags and then stay at that one closest to PLA base and defend against any PLA coming through the valley etc, fair enough! that doesnt mean you are within your rights to take a convoy of armour over to their base and "pwn some n00bs" all you will get if you do that is people staying dead trying to join YOUR TEAM, may even take YOUR PLACE if you die.....are YOU then a n00b because you cant get out of that base?

Lets have it your way, you attack base and 'pwn some n00bs' oh yer mister you rawk! wont be long till the other team start disconnecting and finding a server where the rules are enforced and who will you 'own' then?....n00b

If a team of noobs wont come out of their base unless they are in a jet/attack chopper then yes, what else can you do.
But that isnt usually the case, that isnt usually the way they ended up with no flags.
They ended up with no flags because the REAL noobs werent even trying, they were sat waiting to join the team with the most shiney badges

If you don't want to get base raped squad up and move as a team to get the the squad leader out of the base.  That way at least there is another spawn point, but you have to protect the SL so you can survive!

The commander needs to order the teams to attack one flag, send the brunt of the force out to meet the enemy at one of the flags, and have a smaller unit try to make it out deep into the map to take another flag.

Get people in fast movers, armor probably will not make it off base in time.  But the most important thing is team work.  (Which at this pont in the game is probably moot because if you had been working in teams you wouldn't be in this situation.)

agree with what you say there silo, that "cant make a squad" bug is a bit of a pain in the arse though

i will to some extent  maybe till a chopper spawns  but not for the whole game

i baserape.... its a good time
but as i like to call it.... tactically surpress the enemy on their uncap
baseraping is often even better if the other team has a flag.... because they just arent expecting it... and then you get all the defenseless people sitting around waiting for jets to spawn


damn i should make a new account called ibaserape

Yeah, and make your tag something like [iRape].

I've been lurking in these forums for months now, but finally decided to register to offer a slightly different point of view on this particular thread.

The clan I am in started a BF2 server not too long ago and, in the beginning, we had it set so any flag could be attacked at any time. This included all of the uncaps. Within a couple of days, we saw some enormous swings in traffic. The server would build up and be at capacity, it would stay like that for a short while, and then all of a sudden it would be empty.

What we found was that allowing the uncaps to be attacked would result in baseraping the uncap. What would then happen would be the majority of the players on the team getting baseraped would leave the server. After that, the team doing the raping would also leave the server (I am assuming because of a drop in targets and the server not auto-balancing fast enough).

This meant that this server, that we pay a fair amount of money for each month, would sit empty quite often. As a group we discussed the situation and decided that even though we did not personally disagree with attacking any base at any time we needed to make a change to try to keep traffic up on the server. To do this we implemented the "No Attacking Uncaps" rule and admin it even though we do not fully support it. Since the change, our traffic on the server has been much more consistent.

I've heard the argument that if you don't like baseraping then play a different game, but the cold fact is that if a player does not like baseraping they will find another server that does not allow it.

This post is not to defend or attack baseraping or baserapers, but simply to offer one possible explanation as to why so many servers state in their rules that baseraping is not allowed and why so many admins will kick a player involved in baseraping from the server.

i can live with one or two people base raping they shouldn't be hard to find and take out, its when a whole clan or half a team rapes that my opinion changes, being unable to spawn more than 5 seconds will wind anyone up, especially if they spawn rape in vehicles god damn thats annoying, i don't mean a vehicle thats no problem, but when its 2 APCs and a tank sat around your uncap constantly blowing the shit out of everything from 3 different angles then its friggin annoying.
